City of Ozark EMS

08/28/2026

WTVY News 4 recently stopped by Ozark EMS to talk about the new $125,000 ambulance bay approved by the Ozark City Council.

Ozark EMS currently operates a fleet of seven ambulances and one non-emergency transport van. Keeping these units protected from the elements is about more than protecting the vehicles themselves. Our ambulances carry medications, IV fluids, and other temperature-sensitive medical supplies that must be maintained in accordance with Alabama Department of Public Health requirements.

This new ambulance bay will help us better protect our fleet, our equipment, and ultimately our ability to serve the citizens of Ozark.

Thank you to WTVY News 4 for helping share the story, and to the Ozark City Council for continuing to invest in the needs of Ozark EMS and the community we serve.

The city is working to clear the land for the project. The new ambulance bay is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Not every shift is filled with emergency calls, but that doesn't mean the learning stops.

When our crews aren't responding to patients, they're often training to keep their skills sharp. Today's training focused on patient spinal immobilization, including proper cervical collar application and backboard techniques. While these skills aren't needed for every patient, they're critical to know when the situation calls for them.

The more we train today, the better prepared we are to care for you tomorrow. 💙🚑

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate National EMS Week.
Today, we want to take a moment to thank the dedicated men and women of Ozark EMS who answer the call every single day. Whether it’s during an emergency, a routine transport, or someone’s worst moment, our crews continue to serve this community with compassion, professionalism, and dedication.
The long hours, missed holidays, sleepless nights, and difficult calls often go unseen by the public — but the impact you make is felt throughout our community every day.
To our Ozark EMS personnel: thank you for the sacrifices you make, the care you provide, and the pride you take in serving others. We are incredibly grateful for each of you.
We also want to recognize and thank ALL EMS responders everywhere — paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, flight crews, first responders, educators, supervisors, and support staff — for everything you do in every capacity. Your service truly makes a difference.
Happy National EMS Week from Ozark EMS. 💙

🚑 We’re Here to Help — The Right Way 🚑

We know it can be difficult to decide when to seek medical care, and we understand why some may call the station looking for advice.

While we’re always here for our community, Ozark EMS is not able to provide medical advice over the phone. Our station phones are maintained for administrative purposes and general questions, but medical concerns cannot be safely assessed without seeing a patient in person. Providing advice over the phone can be unsafe and falls outside the scope of what we are able to do.

If you believe you may need medical attention or are unsure about your condition, calling 911 is the safest option so trained responders can evaluate you and provide the care you need.

Your safety is always our priority, and the best way we can help is by seeing you in person when care is needed.
